First of all, you are generalising a nation of 5 million +.
Secondly, where do you get some facts? I would like to see some proof as to where you have found this information!
I am a Scottish person living in Scotland who has no intention of moving "southbound" except to visit for a holiday. In fact many people move to Scotland to live from the south and from many other countries. It sounds as though you have never ventured north of the border.
It's a wonderful country and if you did some research you would find a nation of very patriotic people. Maybe jealousy is the reason behind your misguided question?
As for those who answer with insults on what they know nothing about... ever heard of something called "karma"?

Firstly they are Scots and not scotch people. Secondly, they don't always 'greet' about how bonny Scotland is. Thirdly, they aren't all desparate to 'head southbound', by which I presume you mean move to England. Only two members on the Scottish side of my family moved to England, and both because they married Englishmen...and you can't help who you love.
Hardly seems like an exodus to me.

I take you are english? We are not called Scotch (think it may be your alcohol dependency issues that have made you use this word). Scottish people don't "greet" about how bonny this wonderful country is. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else, I had the opportunity to move down south but it's not worth giving up my heritage. As my little girl says, she loves this country (scotland) cos you get "everything here" (weather wise and scenary).

I take it you are English and never ventured north to Scotland to view the beautiful scenery and experience the true Scottish hospitality.
Assuming you are English I suggest you return to school and learn more about your language.
Firstly, scotch is a drink, and Scottish people are known as Scots.
Secondly, when composing a letter etc. and you refer to countries, then the country in question is always shown with a capital letter ie. Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, and even England.

First, may I point out to you that scotch is a very warming spirit?
The people of Scotland are Scots or Scottish, never scotch.
Scotland is beautiful and the people are welcoming to visitors.
Not all Scots want to leave their beautiful homeland, but sometimes lack of work may lead some of them south of the border, or abroad.
I know some Scots who moved down to E. Sussex for work and because of the better weather.

You are probably the son of a Tory MP (judging by your frankly appalling English and tone) who feels the Scots MPs are edging the English out of Politics. Let me tell you sonny boy, there are plenty of people from the south of England buying up beauty spots in Scotland and Wales so they can escape London.

We should feel sorry for the south bound Scots - even their fellow countrymen north of the border hate the sight of them!
Mind you I don't think the Scots like anyone very much and most of them seem to have heads full of 'sweety wrappers' and not much else.
They also get an unfair extra amount of our taxes - they don't hate the English enough to have the pride not to accept the money though.
Poor sad wee angry nobodies! you are not even worth the time wasted posting this opinion, get a life of your own.

The people in Scotland are fantastic. I can't wait to go to Scotland.

Parts of Scotland are beautiful. It must be the lack of opportunities that makes them move south.

Well I'm Scottish living in England but I see myself as more of a social missionary.
